South Korea's ruling party wins local polls
The ruling Democratic Party of South Korea won most of the local elections, securing victories in 12 out of 16 contests. However, it suffered a symbolic defeat in the Seoul mayoral race against the conservative opposition candidate Oh Se-hoon. Losing the position of the capital's mayor is considered a significant political setback, even though the party still controls many local governments a year after President Lee Jae-myung took office. The election results reflect strong nationwide support for the party, driven by economic growth in the stock market and the technology industry.
